Another dud: Marshall Tucker Band. I actually saw them. LOL It didn't help that it was an outdoor show, 9000 degrees F and humidity of 1 million percent.

. . . the Grateful Dead headlined . . . I prayed fervently that I not die in the field there because then it would be known that I'd gone to a Grateful Dead concert.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

The drug has yet to be invented that could get me to a Dead concert.

That's the thing: I was the only person there who wasn't high. Don't tell Traynor, I want him to keep thinking I'm an acidhead. (It was not my most glorious moment, going to that concert . . . )

I never saw Johnny Cash. Or Haggard. But I saw the {!#%@} Marshall Tucker Band and the Grateful Dead! But once in Charlotte Airport, around 2006, I saw someone wearing a black tee shirt with white lettering that said simply, Johnny {!#%@} Cash. LOL (really liked that A3 stuff . . . never listened to them before, bless you Darren W )

My father - who listened almost exclusively to classical music - loved Johnny Cash. It cracked me up.
